FEATHER FANS:

These are not difficult they just need a little patience and planning…  
Feathers (collected or purchased to suit your purpose)  
A handle: this can be a stick, a wooden dowel, or a piece of metal tubing  
Ribbon, leather, twine, floss or anything to bind the feathers to the handle  
Beads, Crystals, Talismans to add as inspired.

I carefully laid out the feathers in a basic shape. Then one by one glued them together to set the form. (I ran a small bead of glue down the rib of the feather avoiding the feather itself - as carefully as I could) and pressing them together to hold them in place. Let them dry at least 6 hours. Lay against the handle or insert into a tube and again glue in place and let dry. Bind the end of the feathers to the handle by wrapping with twine or ribbon…adding charms, beads or tokens… TA DA!

Here is a SMALL one I just finished for my travel altar. I couldn’t find a small fan…
